If you are in the market for a smart, reliable electric car, a used Nissan Leaf is great option. Well established in its class, this eco-friendly vehicle has a 6.6-kW charger onboard that knocks down the charging time by half. There is also a driving mode called "B Mode" that increases regenerative braking, which helps with deceleration.
The S trim level is the most affordable version. Its state-of-the-art 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can be fully powered in as little as 4 hours with a 220V cable. The 80-kilowatt electric motor generates 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque and can go for 75 miles.
Heated side mirrors, 16-inch steel wheels, keyless entry and ignition, and automatic climate control provide drivers with comfort and convenience. It also comes with a rearview camera to assist in pulling out of tight spaces.
Not only is the 2013 Nissan Leaf S environmentally friendly, but it is also safe. According to Edmunds, this brisk little car scored a solid five out of five stars in the overall crash protection rating.
